Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for supporting elongated objects, such as cables, cable bundles, tubes, pipes, sheaths and the like, which makes it possible to guide and hold said objects along a structure .
  • a preferential, although not exclusive, application of said device according to the invention relates in particular to the aeronautical industry, where the presence of a considerable number of cables, tubes, sheaths, etc. intended for the transmission of information by fluidic channels , electrical and optical for, for example, enslaving the equipment of an aircraft, requires the use of support devices to ensure the path and the maintenance of said elongated objects along appropriate structures.
  • These support devices are fixed to rigid rigid structures, such as metal support tubes, rails or profiles, and are arranged at regular intervals one after the other, in order to properly support said elongated objects.
  • the support devices comprise a body which has at least one cradle forming a housing open towards the outside and serving as transverse support for said objects, a tightening means, such as a collar, linked said cradle and making it possible to secure said elongated objects to the corresponding device.
  • a tightening means such as a collar
  • each support device is directly fixed to the supporting structure by rivets.
  • This method of attachment has drawbacks, in particular in the case where the supporting structure is a metal tube, since it is necessary to provide holes, generally two, for the passage of the rivets in said tube, which then results in weakening. its mechanical strength, especially since a large number of devices must be arranged, in close proximity, one after the other. This implies, as a consequence, a high cost of production since operations for drilling the tube, positioning each device relative to said tube, and placing the rivets are necessary.
  • document WO-A-87/00256 discloses a device for supporting elongated objects, of the type comprising a body, composed of two parts which can be joined to one another. , for example around a carrier tube, and provided with openings open towards the outside serving as transverse support and holding for elongated objects.
  • the locking of the two parts of the device turns out to be complicated and requires significant assembly time.
  • the locking of said parts of the body comprises, on the one hand, an assembly of the dovetail type, arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the support tube, and on the other hand, bolts arranged parallel to said longitudinal axis.
  • the present invention relates to a device of the aforementioned type, the design of which makes it possible in particular to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the device for supporting elongated objects such as cables, cable bundles, tubes, sheaths and the like, of the type comprising a body which has at least one housing open towards the outside and serving as a transverse support.
  • said body consisting of two parts which can be joined and joined to one another
  • said housing is formed by a cradle defining a V and associated with a clamping means, such as a collar, for fixing said objects, and said parts can be joined and joined to one another only by means of elastically deformable locking means comprising elastically deformable hooks provided on at least one of the two parts of said body, and which are capable of cooperating with corresponding retaining lugs, formed on the other of said parts.
  • an elongated object having any diameter may be placed thereon, said elongated object being subsequently linked to said cradle by means, for example, of a clamp.
  • the two parts can be placed on either side of said tube to lock them directly between them, and in the case where the carrying structure is shaped into a rail, the one of the parts is then fixed to said rail, while the other part, carrying said elongated objects, is locked to the fixed part.
  • the two parts of the body may each have an at least partially circular notch matching the shape, when the parts are secured to one another , the outside of said tube.
  • these two parts are identical, each of them then having at least one cradle forming a housing open towards the outside and serving as transverse support for said objects.
  • Such an embodiment is particularly advantageous since it makes it possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing said devices. Indeed, for example from the same mold, one obtains a part which can constitute one or the other of said parts.
  • the mounting of a device around said tube is then carried out without difficulty since two parts or parts of a receptacle for storing them are grasped, they are placed on either side of said tube, and they are combined to each other by said locking means.
  • each part has at least one cradle.
  • At least one of said parts comprises at least one positioning member capable of coming to cooperate, during assembly of the latter, with said tube.
  • This member thus avoids the rotation of the device around the tube, and the longitudinal movement of the device relative to the tube.
  • said positioning member is constituted by a centering pin capable of being introduced into a hole made in said tube.
  • one of said parts is shaped as a base fixed to said surface, and with which is capable of being joined to the other part of said body having said cradle.
  • the base thus acts as an intermediate piece on which the part supporting said elongated objects can be mounted.
  • the body of the support device can consist either of two identical parts when the carrying structure is shaped into a tube or the like, or of a part and a base when the carrying structure is shaped into a rail or a profile. Thanks to the invention, two different forms of parts (a part and a base) are thus designed to assemble and obtain a support device which can be adapted to most structures.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view of the support device according to the invention showing the two parts of said body before mounting on a bearing structure shaped into a tube.
  • Figure 2 shows the attachment of said parts of the device to said tube.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the mounting of said elongated objects on the device fixed to said tube.
  • FIG. 4 represents a top view of one of the identical parts illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 5 is a sectional view of one of the parts of said body along the line V-V in FIG. 1.
  • Figure 6 shows, in exploded view, an alternative embodiment of the support device according to the invention intended to be fixed to a structure having a flat surface such as a rail or a profile.
  • Figure 7 shows the device of Figure 6 supporting said elongated objects.
  • Figure 8 is a top view of the part of said body shaped as a base.
  • the device 1 according to the invention is intended in a first alternative embodiment to be mounted on a rigid structure shaped as a metal support tube 2.
  • This device 1 comprises a body 3 consisting, according to the invention, of two parts 4 and 5 which can be joined and secured to one another by means of locking means 6 which will be described later.
  • the two parts 4 and 5 are advantageously identical, and are for example obtained by molding. They can be made of a plastic material.
  • Each part, having the approximate shape of a half-crown has, in this particular embodiment, three identical cradles 7, regularly distributed around the axis of said half-crown; each of these cradles 7 forms a housing 8 open towards the outside having a V shape, and which serves as a transverse support for said objects.
  • each cradle 7 has two faces 9 and 10 parallel to each other, and connected together by a bottom 11 of circular section.
  • the faces 9 and 10 each have two inclined faces 9a, 9b, and 10a, 10b respectively, forming the wings of the V of the housing 8, and on which said elongated objects can rest.
  • the circular bottom 11 connecting the faces 9 and 10 of each cradle 7 is produced so as to provide a free space 12 ( Figure 5) for the passage of a clamp for said objects, and to protrude, on the other side ( Figure 1) beyond the tip of the V-shaped housing 8 delimited by said sides tilted.
  • Each part 4 and 5 obtained by molding, comprises a notch 14 of circular shape intended to come to marry the outside diameter 15 of the carrier tube 2 when they are placed around it.
  • the locking means 6 of said parts 4 and 5 are constituted, in a particularly advantageous embodiment, by elastically deformable hooks 16 capable of coming to cooperate with retaining lugs 17.
  • each part present (FIG. 1) on one side, an elastically deformable hook 16, and on the other side, a retaining lug.
  • the hook 16 of the part 4 will come to fit against the retaining lug 17 of the part 5, and vice versa.
  • a centering pin 18 is provided on each of the parts 4 and 5, and emerges projecting from the circular notch 14. These centering pins 18 are intended to be introduced into corresponding holes 19 formed in the carrier tube 2, in order to immobilize the device once locked around said tube.
  • the mounting of the device on the support tube is carried out by presenting head to tail the two parts 4 and 5 on either side of the tube 2 until each elastically deformable hook 16 is positioned and then locked with the corresponding retaining lug 17.
  • the actual locking takes place by simple pressure of the two parts against each other.
  • the centering pins 18 are introduced into the corresponding holes 19 made in the carrier tube 2. Consequently, when the locking is achieved, the device 1 is immobilized in rotation and axially thanks to said pins.
  • the device 1 being fixed to said tube 2, elongated objects 20 can be placed on the six cradles 7 offered by said body 3. Each cradle then receives either a bundle of cables 21, or hydraulic pipes 22, etc., as it is illustrated in figure 3.
  • FIG. 6 An alternative embodiment of the device 1 for the support of elongated objects is shown in Figures 6 to 8.
  • the supporting structure is shaped as a rail or a profile 27, on the surface of which the device is fixed.
  • the device 1 has two parts, a part 29, identical to parts 4 and 5 of the first embodiment, as well as another part 30 shaped as a base.
  • the base 30 has a substantially parallelepiped shape, and comprises on its upper face 31, with which the part 29 comes into contact, locking means 6 identical to those previously described.
  • locking means 6 identical to those previously described.
  • the base also includes two tongues 32 each pierced with a hole 33 allowing the passage of rivets 34 for fixing it to the bearing structure 27.
  • the base 30 is for example obtained by molding.
  • the mounting of the part 29 on the base 30 is carried out in a similar manner to that described with reference to the previous embodiment.
  • the fixing of the elongated objects 20 to the corresponding cradles is obtained by the clamps 24.
  • the disassembly of the body 3, then formed by the part 29 and the base 30, is also carried out by means of a tool entering the notches 25 formed in the part 29 and the base 30, said tool making it possible to drive out the elastically deformable hooks 16 from the retaining pins 17.
  • Such a device according to the invention is particularly advantageous, since from two different types of parts (a part and a base), it is possible to produce a device adapting to bearing structures shaped either in tube or in rail, for then arrange said elongated objects. Furthermore, disassembly is carried out without difficulty by acting, for this, on the locking means of the parts of said body.
